existencia
Nueva Etica Lyrics

The lyrics to Nueva Etica's song "Existencia" speak to the destructive nature of addiction and its ripple effects on both the individual and those around them. The first verse, "Ciego por tu adicción, atrapado, solo es una excusa que te hará perder el control" ("Blind to your addiction, trapped, it's just an excuse that will make you lose control"), sets the scene of someone who is caught in the cycle of addiction, using excuses to justify their behavior and ultimately losing control over their actions. The line "otra vez arrastrándote en mi camino" ("once again dragging yourself down my path") suggests that this behavior is cyclical and has happened before.

The second verse delves further into the consequences of addiction, describing the singer's body no longer responding to the drugs and their descent into a "decadence" that is reflected in their "miserable existence." The chorus repeats the phrase "sos víctima de tus drogas, tu violencia, miserable existencia" ("you are a victim of your drugs, your violence, your miserable existence") to reinforce the idea that addiction is not a choice, but a trap that can lead to destructive behavior and a downward spiral.

The final lines, "Tiempo de respetar la NUEVA ETICA" ("Time to respect the new ethics"), are a call to action for listeners to reject the destructive behaviors associated with addiction and embrace a new way of living. Overall, "Existencia" is a powerful lament of the human toll of addiction and a plea for a better way forward.
